Alfa Romeo Giulietta (2017 year). Manual — part 21
WARNING
101)
When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
102)
In case of a malfunction or failure of
the device, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These are located in the car's front
bumper and rear bumper and their
function is to inform the driver, through
an intermittent acoustic signal, about the
presence of obstacles in front of and
behind the car.
ACTIVATION
Version with rear sensors
On the versions with rear sensors, the
system is activated when the reverse
gear is engaged.
Version with front and rear sensors
On versions with front sensors and rear
sensors, the system is activated when
the reverse gear is engaged or by
pressing the button on the centre console
.
When reverse gear is released, the front
and rear sensors remain activated until a
speed of around 15 km/h is exceeded to
allow the parking manoeuvre to be
completed.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing
the button
again or when a speed of
15 km/h is exceeded: the LED in the
button is off when the system is not
active.
INDICATIONS ON DISPLAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Versions with rear sensors
On activating the sensors, the image of
the vehicle with rear distance bars will
appear on the "Reconfigurable
Multifunction Display".
Versions with front and rear sensors
On activating the sensors, the image of
the vehicle with front and rear distance
bars will appear on the "Reconfigurable
Multifunction Display".
Obstacle presence and distance
information is therefore provided both
by the buzzer (volume of the acoustic
warning cannot be adjusted) and the
indication on the display.
If there are several obstacles, the closest
one is displayed. On the version with
front and rear sensors, the closest
obstacle in the front area and in the rear
area is displayed.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the presence
and distance of an obstacle from the car
is transmitted to the driver by means of
acoustic signals from buzzers installed in
the passenger compartment.
90
STARTING AND DRIVING
When reverse gear is engaged an
acoustic signal is automatically activated
if there is an obstacle within the range of
operation.
The acoustic signal:
increases
as distance between the car
and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous
when the
distance between the car and the
obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
is constant
if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation occurs for the side
sensors, the signal will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example,
indications in the event of manoeuvres
alongside walls.
OPERATION WITH A TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically
turned off when the trailer electric cable
plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
31)
The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
103) 104)
IMPORTANT NOTES
During parking manoeuvres, pay the
utmost attention to any obstacles that
could be located above or below the
sensors.
Objects set close to the car rear, under
certain circumstances are not detected and
could therefore cause damage to the car or
be damaged.
The following conditions may influence the
performance of the parking assistance
system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to the
presence on the surface of the sensor of:
ice, snow, mud, thick paint
The sensors may detect a non-existent
obstacle (echo interference) due to
mechanical interference, for example when
washing the car, in rain (strong wind), hail.
The signals sent by the sensors can also
be altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems or
pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
sensor performance can also be
influenced by the position of the sensors.
For example by a change in the ride setting
(caused by the wear of the shock
absorbers, suspension), overloading the car
and carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the car to be lowered;
The detection of obstacles at the top
part of the car may not be guaranteed
because the system detects obstacles that
could cause an impact with the car in the
bottom part.
IMPORTANT
31)
The sensor must be free of mud, dirt,
snow or ice in order for the system to work.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths.The sensors must be
washed using clean water, with the addition
of vehicle shampoo if necessary. When using
special washing equipment such as high
pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the
sensors very quickly keeping the jet more
than 10 cm away.
WARNING
103)
Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area of
the sensors carried out by an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. Incorrect paint application could
affect the operation of the parking sensors.
104)
Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres are, however, always the
driver’s responsibility. While carrying out
these manoeuvres, always make sure that
no people (especially children) or animals are
in the area concerned.The parking sensors
are an aid for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
91
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electric system to tow caravans or
trailers. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional door
mirrors as specified by the Highway
Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer reduces the load
capacity of the car by the same amount.
Consider the weight at full load, including
accessories and luggage, to make sure
you do not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown in the registration
document).
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in the
case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case do not exceed 100 km/h.
INSTALLING A TOW HOOK
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to
install a tow hook.
105) 106)
WARNING
105)
The ABS with which the car is equipped
will not control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is therefore
required on slippery roads.
106)
Do not, under any circumstances,
modify the vehicle's braking system to
control the trailer breaking system.The
towing braking system must be completely
independent of the vehicle's hydraulic
system.
REFUELLING THE CAR
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol 95 R.O.N.
compliant with the European
specification EN228. The petrol octane
rating (RON) must not be lower than 95.
In order to prevent damage to the
catalytic converter never introduce even
the smallest amount of leaded petrol,
even in the event of an emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use diesel fuel compliant with
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty,
due to the damage caused.
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots with consequent defective
operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of Diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas).
If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
92
STARTING AND DRIVING
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container with
the fuel. Pour the additive into the tank
before the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to
keep the tank over 50% full.
LPG ENGINES
The gas filler is located next to the petrol
filler cap. It has a "non return", located in
the filler body itself.
To access the filler 1 fig. 68 open the
access flap 2.
Observe the following precautions during
the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
turn the ignition key to the STOP
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter 3 over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
The adapter 3 is located in a special case.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are different types of adapters for
refuelling pumps. The adapter that comes
with the car is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If you
are in a different country, find out what
type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Only use the adapter
supplied with the vehicle as it is equipped
with a dedicated fuel pre-filter.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
The fuel cap is unlocked when the central
locking system is released and
automatically clocked when the central
locking system is applied.
Opening
Press flap 2 fig. 69 to release it and
access fuel tank cap 1. Then press cap
1 and rotate it anticlockwise.
107)
The cap is provided with a retention
device 4 which attaches it to the flap and
prevents it from being lost. Attach the
cap to device 3 during refuelling.
How to open the flap in an emergency
In case of emergency, pull the cord
fig. 70 on the right-hand side of the
luggage compartment to open the fuel
flap.
